@calenclifton @UConnProvost @UConnNeag @JeremyBLanda Congratulations Morgaen. Such a well deserved honor.Bravo!

I’m reading this month’s #AASAMag on superintendent turnover and school personnel from @AASAHQ! Check it out: pageturnpro.com/AASA/101257-Se…

As you gain power and status, you lose some of your ability to judge character. When you're in a position of influence, people are more motivated to impress you. The least prominent person in the room is the most likely to see everyone's true colors.

@Richard_Lemons @teachcardona @EducateCT @CTCenterSchChng what a terrific and inspirational set of opening remarks....”hello world”

Chill bumps. I am so excited for Miguel (or I guess I should say Secretary Cardona. The future is bright for US students. @teachcardona @EducateCT @CTCenterSchChng

@jennieweiner @uyi_osunde @UConnNeag @sarahlouwou @cdcobb16 @ljb99001 @McGarryJE congrats Uyi.... so glad to see this....

@MrCarlRJohnson so true. one of a kind. such a supporter of so many and the loyalist of friends.

First met Coach Phelan playing 🏈🏀🥍 w/ all his sons at CHS, got to know him in diff. way as my AD at FHS, always checked on me when I came to PHS, one of the most important mentors I had professionally & personally, no one cared more about kids or the people he knew

@CoachGalUHart Coach..... what a tragedy....Jack was a special human being, the most loyal friend imaginable and the toughest guy i know who never had to show it. So know he enjoyed cheering you on. RIP

This morning was a really hard one-our former coach and one of my close friends Jack Phelan passed away-our thoughts and prayers go out to Patti and their 3 sons-Kenny, Jack and Patrick—Jack texted me after every game —was someone I leaned on-definition of a #Neighborhood guy

Over here on E Street, we are crushed by the loss of John Prine. John and I were "New Dylans" together in the early 70s and he was never anything but the lovliest guy in the world. A true national treasure and a songwriter for the ages. We send our love and prayers to his family.

@DocConner13 congrats Michael.

After 6 courses, 2 immersions, 2 seminars, and 18 months of new learning, I finally completed this part of a long journey to unlock the potential in ALL students. Thank you to those who have supported me on this endeavor — I share this “short-term win” with you. #ChangeTheWorld

@principalrel Congrats Bob. It’s been awhile since we crossed paths in Portsmouth....nice to see you’ll be supporting RI principals. I’m back in RI working with supts through RISA. Best wishes.

Congratulations, Coach.

If you start to notice that everyone around you is an asshole: (a) If you can, leave (b) If you're stuck, find the bright spots: the people who treat others with respect (c) Consider the possibility—however remote—that you might be the asshole #FridayMotivation

@jheil @NicolleDWallace @DeadlineWH saw you hustling up yo the studio as we walked through Roc Center.... missed the opportunity to stop you and tell you how much we enjoy your ribald, authentand informed insights . Bravo

For all you @NicolleDWallace fans: hate to ruin your Friday, but she's gone AWOL, so there will be a sub in her @DeadlineWH chair today. And I have it on good authority that the sub will be a knucklehead. OTOH: 👐👐👐

I am getting tired of the radio (morning shows are obnoxious; news is never uplifting). Moving to podcasts. Thanks to @isobeltx, @rmv1950, and @EastHartfordPS Supt Nate Quesnel for sharing their favorites with me! Any recommendations for good podcasts?
